Telemetry

Around 3/9/2001, 19:30, many gradients showed a sharp peak (e.g., see OBA Cone). Similarly, computed values: OBACONEAVG (OBA CONE AVG TEMP) and OBAAVG (OBA/TFTE TEMP) displayed a peak with long trailing tails around at the time.

OOBAPWR (OBA COMPUTED TOTAL PWOER) and ELBI (LOAD BUS CURRENT) also displayed a sharp peak at the same time (766.4 for red limit 400, and 93.44 for 89 red limit, respectively).


Recent Observations

The ACA Problem is in the specified handling of guide star positional errors. This issue in not significant to the final product and so is being worked at low priority.
